feet on November IL. Since the opinion
has finally been rendered q feeling Of relief
is experienced, and outside Of anarchstic
and socaIis,ic circles the verdict is univer.
sally approved.
The announcement OF the sentence caused
intense excitement in the jail building. Capt
Setback was notified early of the decision
and soon an additional force Of officers were
aeen patrollirg the vicinity of the
Jail. Detectives were also posted on
nearly every approach to the place.
and every suspicious character was watched.

The Centennial.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept l5-The last Gen.
tennial of the events Of revolutionary times
began this morning. This morning all
fears of bad weather which had previously
been entertained disappeared. The sky was
clear and the temperature comfortable.
Philadelphia and her hundreds OF thousands
OF guests appeared on the streets early this
morning in their holiday garb, light hearted
and all bent toward the single object Of
making the celebration fitting one. All
day yesterday and last night visitors, in
Guiding guests, military and fyemen, ar
rived by every possible conveyance, ard the
dozen railroad depo.s were taxed to The ut
most in accommodating the throng which
had flocked here All the hotels were filled
to OVERLOOKING by yesterday morning, and
every inch of surplus space had been filled
with cots and other means Of temporary
rest. It is said that there are at least two
hundred thousand visitors from distance.
The streets to day presented an appearance
that is lovely in the extreme. In all di.
rections as far as tho eye can reach there was
one mass of bunting and decoration. The
monster civic ard industrial pageant started
l.om Broad and Dauphin streets shortly af-
;sr 10 o'clock and marched TO Board and
nfoore streets, distance of nearly five
miles, and then countermnrched to the
starting point, passing through one con-
tinuous line Of observation stands gaily
decorated with the flags of all nations.
North Broad street was SO crowded as to

o'clock and the great crowds betook them.
selves to the street, notwithstanding the
efforts of the police 10 keep the latter clear.
The magnificent throughfare had been meta
morphosed into q vast amphitheatre, with
seats raised high on either side, and they
were crowded to repletion. The overflow
crowded on the sidewalks and n the street
and many of them were able to catch on
ly occasional gimpses of the pageant as it
passed. The parade illustrated the ad
vancement Of tho industrial arts and
sciences during the past century and it is be
lieved fairly eolipsed anything of the kind
ever known. There were in line three
hundred floats, each bearing Il representa-
ton Of some particular branch of industry,
twelve thousand men, three thousand horsts
and one hundred and fifty bands of music.
